Greetings,
sometimes I want to read new comments on a particular post but I don’t want to check it every hour to see new comments. It would be nice if I can just say “!remind 5h” so that I get a reminder to checkout a specific post which would have new comments after 5 hour.
I am thinking about making it myself in Rust, but if there is already a bot here and I don’t know, please tell me.
Why should it be a bot? It could be a feature built into Lemmy itself.
You could request it here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues
@[email protected] 30 minutes. “How many comments say remind me?”
Huh, @-ing makes a lot of sense. I was about to tell the tale that the
!remindme
syntax is incredibly wasteful, because the bot needs to read every comment to be able to detect that. But yeah, just making it a mention instead resolves that very elegantly.@horse_battery_staple Here is your reminder!
Noo that bot is a big wart on reddit. Add something on the client side instead.
